What is Podiatry?
Within the field of allied health, Podiatry is dedicated to diagnosing, preventing, and medically treating disorders affecting the foot, ankle, and lower extremity.
Podiatrists are distinctly trained to spot and treat biomechanical issues likely to cause injury or diminished performance, which include;
- Heel Pain
- Foot Pain
- Heel Spur
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shin Splints
- Knee Pain
- Running Injuries
- Flat Feet
- Callus & Corns
- Ingrown Toenails
- Plantar Warts
The human foot, consisting of 26 bones, 33 joints, and a multitude of muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and nerves, is a highly complex and effective structure. However, an injury to these components can rapidly become extremely disabling and impact overall health. As specialists in the foot and lower leg, podiatrists are able to precisely diagnose the cause of discomfort and uncover the underlying issue. This leads to a more comprehensive treatment plan that minimises the risk of future injuries while maintaining mobility and independence.
